Most Asked Questions

What information do I need to complete a Criminal Record Check?

You may be asked to provide information including your full legal name, former or alternate names where applicable, date and place of birth, and residential address history. Additional identity verification may be required depending on the screening method and applicable requirements.

How long will my Criminal Record Check take?

Eligible checks are commonly completed in an average of five minutes. Processing may take longer when identity verification, documentation, or additional review is required.

What does a Canadian Criminal Record Check search?

Triton works with police service partners across Canada to facilitate searches of the RCMP’s Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) criminal record database.

How do I know which background check I need?

Confirm the exact check with the employer, licensing body, volunteer organization, school, or other organization requesting it before placing your order.

Can I use a Triton Criminal Record Check for employment or licensing?

Criminal Record Checks are commonly requested for employment, licensing, placements, volunteering, and other personal requirements. Acceptance depends on the requesting organization’s policies.

What happens if more information is required?

You will receive instructions explaining any identity verification, documentation, or additional steps needed to continue your check.

What information can appear in my Social Media Check?

Your report reviews publicly available online content and may identify content within defined categories such as hate speech, threats of violence, toxic language, explicit imagery, drug-related content, bullying, or extremism.

Does Triton access my private social media accounts?

The Social Media Check is designed around publicly available online information. You should never provide a social-media password as part of an employment screening process.

Where does the information in a social media background check come from?

Triton reviews publicly available online content from sources including but not limited to Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, TikTok, Reddit, etc. The review uses AI-assisted analysis together with human review to produce the report.

What is Electronic Identity Verification (E-IV)?

Electronic Identity Verification, or E-IV, is an online method of confirming your identity without requiring physical identification and witness signatures. Triton’s E-IV process uses knowledge-based questions generated from information associated with your credit file. Successfully answering the questions confirms your identity so your application can proceed.

Does Triton support international screening?

Yes.

Triton provides international background screening capabilities across more than 160 countries through its global screening network.

Available screening methods, documentation requirements, cost and turnaround time vary by jurisdiction.

Where is screening data stored?

Triton’s platform and customer data are hosted in Canada.

Triton maintains security and privacy controls including encryption, role-based access and audit logging to protect candidate and organizational information.

How long does implementation take?

Implementation timelines depend on the systems being connected, workflow complexity, required data exchange, security review, testing requirements and availability of both teams.

Triton works with your business and technical stakeholders to establish requirements, implementation milestones, testing and launch plans before deployment.

Can information move between our system and Triton?

Yes.

Triton supports two-way data exchange between connected systems. Candidate and screening request information can be sent to Triton, while status updates and completed results can be returned to the connected system.

The exact information exchanged depends on the integration design, permissions and approved workflow.
